“I may or may not have a little more time on my hands these days, but that doesn’t mean to say this is why I’m playing great golf,” the 25-year-old, and current No. 1-ranked, golfer said on the “Today” show on Tuesday. “Regardless of if I’m in any sort of relationship or not, I feel like I’m capable of great golf.”

This runs counter to statements he made during the PGA Championship, a tournament he’d go on to win, earlier this month.
